Heinrich Klaasen smashes one of IPL’s fastest centuries, joining Yusuf Pathan in the elite club. David Miller drops rank as records shuffle in IPL 2025. Read the fiery twist in the top fastest-century race.
Klaasen’s Thunderstorm: A 37-Ball Century That Set Delhi on Fire
South Africa’s Heinrich Klaasen (Sunrisers Hyderabad) systematically battered the bowling of Kolkata Knight Riders before the Arun Jaitley Stadium in the IPL 2025 final was stained with blood. With 7 sixes and 9 outrageous fours, Klaasen made it to 105 not out of just 39 balls alive. However, his century in 37balls had everyone clutching at their seats in the Indian Premier League and not just this match.
Joining Legends: Klaasen Equals Yusuf Pathan’s Iconic Feat
This scorching hundred, Klaasen entered the elite class of quickest centuries for the IPL having scored 37 in 37 balls for Hobart Summer and is currently level with Yusuf Pathan’s 37-ball ton from IPL 2010. For Rajasthan Royals versus Mumbai Indians, Pathan scored an innings which to date was un-touchable by many people as Klaasen went and spoke fire with his bat in 2025. Now, they share third position in the all-time list–one an experienced Indian ender; the other being a present-day South African giant.
David Miller Dethroned: A South African Swap in the Top 5
Klaasen’s blitz is at a price — his fellowman David Miller. Aged only 21 when he was last ranked fourth for his 38-ball century in 2013 against Royal Challengers Bangalore while playing for Kings XI Punjab, Miller is now a man three notched up on from the top three. Yet Klaasen snatches the limelight from the man in his Lucknow Super Giants clothes as Miller watches Miller write another record chapter.

Records Broken, Legends Born—IPL 2025 Gets a New Firestarter
